Is there life after death?

When oneness is divided, reality hits that we are just a machine running because of a software called SOUL. What I have been thinking it’s me or what you have been thinking it’s you, i.e. our body, it’s nothing but the accumulation of what we eat and breathe.

Citizenship, identity and belonging: The Northeast migrants in Delhi

From previous issue
While it is argued that the use of such epithets are common such as ‘South Indians’ are called ‘madrasis’, it is to be noted that this naming is only based on cultural rejection, not on racialised thinking. Both are abusive and to be condemned.
